Helsinki, FINLAND,
May 3rd, 2002 – DeskArtes announced today the new Wireless CAD
Viewer software. The product enables 3D CAD data viewing over wireless Internet
connection anywhere on the globe. Free test period is available until the 30th
of September 2002.
DeskArtes is the first company to offer an effective
solution for wireless CAD data viewing and communication. Wireless CAD Viewer from DeskArtes allows you to inspect and measure
your CAD files no matter where you are. The software reduces the need for
traveling, enables efficient communication and speeds up decision making.
The Wireless CAD Viewer software is based on DeskArtes View
Expert software.
The product includes:
- STL, IGES, VDA and DXF input,
- Measuring: Coordinate value, Point-to-point distance, Angle and Hole Radius,
-
Viewing commands: Rotation, Panning and Zooming.
The wireless system gives users the long wanted freedom
when accessing their CAD data at customer locations, construction sites or even
at home. The software allows the user to have access even to very large CAD
geometry files and still display them in the mobile environment. All CAD data is
kept and manipulated in a Windows server and the viewing process is based on
transmitting compressed computer screen images via the wireless Internet and/or
mobile phone connections to Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. In effect, the user can pan,
rotate, zoom and take dimensions from the CAD data with the PDA in real time.
The Wireless CAD Viewer product is implemented in
co-operation with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, http://www.vtt.fi.
Currently DeskArtes is looking “early adopters” for the new technology. The
software can be downloaded from DeskArtes web pages and the use of the system is
free until the 30th of September 2002. DeskArtes is also looking for
partners to utilize the new technology within their products.
”DeskArtes has always been amongst the first in
developing and selling professional software into new emerging markets, like the
free form design system in 1991 and Rapid Prototyping specific software in 1994.
With the new Wireless CAD Viewer DeskArtes is the first to take as step towards
truly mobile, real time CAD applications”, notes Mr. Ismo Mäkelä, CEO of
DeskArtes. ”With the Wireless CAD Viewer DeskArtes can offer solutions to a
wide variety of customers, starting from sales going through project management
to construction engineers.”
Other DeskArtes products include Industrial Design System and Design
Expert for industrial design as well as Rapid Tools and 3Data Expert
for Rapid Prototyping users. For more information on DeskArtes products visit http://www.deskartes.com.
